V2 - Chapter 3 - Walking Away from Ukraine: It’s Not the End of Nuclear Confrontation It’s Just the Beginning

Raghu Giuffre • October 20, 2023

All this economic theory, you know, it’s a wee bit complicated. It can sound

interesting in small bites, but there, playing in the background, is that big, nuclear

mushroom cloud rising into our worse fears. This terror is not for us as a nation,

but as a mass extinction level event of all life on earth.


And so any talk of fighting back in this War of Ukraine finds its way to that

single punchline, America is starting WW3. STOP IT. JUST STOP IT ALREADY.


1) This is truly an Absurd Argument.


First is the sheer level of naivety. The assumption – so foolish. The thinking is

that if we just stay out of this War of Ukraine, we can avoid a nuclear

confrontation with Putin.


How innocent Americans have become. How great Europeans denial.


Ukraine is not Russia’s redline. Here’s the really, really so scary part. There is

no redline. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY REDLINE. Nuclear confrontation is not a

Final Solution for Putin. That is his opening act - to any dispute. Putin opens with

nuclear threat and then works his way back from there. Sometimes stated. Always

implied.


2) The second Absurd Argument.


We can end nuclear confrontation by just walking away from Ukraine. How

much easier does it get?


Again, this reading of Putin is dreadful - truly the worst miscalculation.


The loss of Ukraine, this is NOT THE END OF NUCLEAR CONFRONTATION. It’s

just the beginning of it. Putin’s victory lap will now be offered in a new wave of

nuclear threats. It’s nukes, for every other foreign venture here on after. Why not.

It just works so well for him. Putin gives us a great, big track record to follow.


Before Ukraine, Putin threatened nukes a couple times a year. It was sort of

like a seasonal thing. The War of Ukraine did change that. It came every few

weeks. Today, it’s weekly. Sometimes, daily.


  •  Russia just threated to obliterate England. They talked of the end of all life

of England. Should the Brits dare raise a hand to Russia - Kaboom. Nuked.

For some reason, we didn’t hear much of this in the news.

  •  Within days, Putin CASUALLY MENTIONED putting in nuclear warheads to

Serbia and other European countries. Somehow the media missed this too.

  •  That is before bragging that Iran is close to having their nuclear weapons.

Again, not really found in news reports.

  •  And there sits, Russia’s pride and joy: North Korea. Putin shared his

excitement of scaling North Korea. Better nukes, more destructive, greater

radius of delivery. How exciting.

  •  And then we have Lithuania, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Poland, Moldova,

Latvia, Estonia and even Canada, each now making Putin’s hit list too. Putin

valiantly calling out all these warmongering countries for the terror they

unleash upon the world.

  •  Really!?
  •  Folks, Do you see a pattern here? Please know, this is just the begging.
  •  Do you really believe Russia is not joining China in their invasion of Taiwan?
  •  Do you really think China will not attack Taiwan?
  •  Putin need only infer nukes. All the world kneels – on demand. Germany,

France, Italy, all the rest to follow shortly.

  •  Behold Putin’s victory. This is what it looks like. Goodbye Ukraine. Hello

Putin. Nukes as the staple of routine foreign policy - now the new normal.

  •  The War of Taiwan is to follow, likely within weeks of Russia’s victory of

Ukraine. China will make sure of it. They have patiently waited decades for

this day, much as Putin did for Ukraine. Victory be to Putin. China knows it.

So does the rest of the world. Even Americans.

  •  Taiwan is ground zero of computer chips. In a single blow, removing chips

for America and much of the rest of the world.

  •  Putin will now own cheap oil, grain, iron, coal and now for the final step –

all of tech as well.

  •  Putin will make things very very, clear as he always does:

Russia, China and North Korea will respond with nukes. Don’t you dare join

Taiwan in defending her sovereignty. Folks, it’s Ukraine ALL OVER AGAIN.

It’s a fairly simple formula. Standard issue for Putin. This time however,

China and N Korea are not sitting on the sidelines. They are to lead the

charge for this Invasion of Taiwan. We now have 3 foes over today’s just

one with Russia in Ukraine. And so goes this snowball of Putin’s nuclear

confrontations.

  •  There goes Japan, Philippines, and so, the next leg of dominoes to fall.
  •  Other countries, they will succumb too. Hence, the end of our Circle of

Democracies for it will now be the age of dictators and oppression once

more.



Welcome to Putin’s victory of Ukraine. This is not the end of nuclear

confrontation, MY DEAR FRIENDS. It’s just the beginning of it.
